For 2014, Maybelline is releasing a new line of lip colors called Lip Khol by Colorsensational (jumbo lip pencils in "creamy, opaque, fun, bright colors") and a new line of eye colors called Colorshow Crayon Khol (eye pencils that are "highly pigmented" and "creamier and more blendable than regular pencils" and can be used to line the eyes or as eyeshadow base).
The fabulous Canadian blog, Beautygeeks, has all of the details (and pics!) right here.
Are you as excited as I am about these? Those colors look gorgeous!
Thanks again, Mary and Halifax, for taking the time to share this with us!
I want the gold sparkle one in the picture!
ReplyDeleteJust my opinion but I think kohls are outdated now that we have creamy waterproof gel formulas. You used to have to choose between texture and performance but that simply is not the case anymore. Why would I want a non waterproof crayon or liner when there are so many great ones in the market that won't smudge all over?
ReplyDeleteLip khol? The name just doesn't make any sense. Khol is eye makeup, originally black. Why would they call a lip jumbo pencil a lip khol??
ReplyDeleteWell depending on the culture, it's used on other parts of the face. From Wikipedia:
DeleteBerber and Bedouin women in North Africa and the Middle East, respectively, also apply kohl to their faces. A vertical line is drawn from the bottom lip to the chin and along the bridge of the nose.:
But I know what you mean... it's definitely something that makes you think of the eye! Perhaps they're just using the word here to describe something that's very creamy and pigmented? Sort of like how Pantene has a Bb cream for hair, even though we all associate Bb creams with the face?
I look forward to not only seeing what color selections they have but also just giving them a spin too.
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling this was going to happen soon. More lip products? I'm in!
ReplyDeleteThis is all very exciting!!! ;-)

ReplyDeleteThe lippie junkie in me is very excited about the Lip Kohls !
I'm guessing this is Maybelline's version of all the jumbo lip crayons/balms that everyone's been releasing .
I find it a bit weird how it's spelled "khol" on the eye pencils , but "kohl" on the lip pencils .
Anyways , I'm looking forward to seeing the other shades of Lip Kohls & swatches of them . :)
